Abstract: Information is communicated to an individual by directing an acoustic signal transcranially to a target region in the brain. The target region is stimulated to produce a cognitive effect, and the cognitive effect is modulated or encoded to carry the desired information.

Abstract: A system for transcranial electrical stimulation comprises a processor having instructions of a computer model that can be adjusted to the head subject in response to one or more input parameters. The adjustable model may comprise a plurality of structures that can be adjusted to the head of the subject in response to parameters that can be readily measured, such as head size and head shape. Discrete brain regions can be stimulated with a plurality of electrodes arranged to stimulate the targeted region with decrease stimulation of the non-targeted regions in order to improve subject comfort. In many embodiments the plurality of electrodes comprises a montage of electrodes, and the targeted location is identified on the adjustable model and the number of electrodes, locations and pulse parameters determined in response to the adjustable model. The adjustment can be helpful to align structures of model with structures of the subject.

Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for transdermal electrical stimulation. Devices described herein can include self-contained, lightweight, and wearable components. The devices include a primary unit including a first transdermal electrode and a secondary unit including a second transdermal electrode. The device can be capable of wireless communication. The primary unit and secondary unit are placed at two locations on the skin of a user, for example on the head or neck of a user. The first and second transdermal electrodes are electrically connected. Electrical stimulation is driven between the two electrodes. The electrical stimulation induces a cognitive effect in a user of the device.

Abstract: A data processing unit calculates image conversions parameters corresponding to each partial image, geometrically converts photographed partial images on the basis of a current partial image based on the calculated image conversion parameters, and combines them to generate a mosaic image. Also, a display device displays each current partial image, and at least part of the generated mosaic image.

Abstract: A data processing device calculates an image conversion parameter corresponding to each partial image. According to the image conversion parameter calculated, a partial image which has been imaged according to the current partial image is geometrically converted. The images are combined to generate a mosaic image. Moreover, the current partial image and at least a part of the mosaic image generated are displayed on a display unit.

Abstract: Novel alkaline cellulase K, CMCase I and CMCase II are obtained by isolation from a culture product of Bacillus sp KSM-635.These enzymes stably work in a wide range including an alkaline side, and their activity is shown even at low temperatures. Further, they have a strong resistance to surface active agents, chelating agents and proteinases. Therefore, they can be effectively utilized not only as an additive for clothing detergents, but also as a biomass and in other fields.

Abstract: A method of quantative determination of adenosine by means, of competitive immunoassay based on a competitive antigen-antibody reaction. In the competitive antigen-antibody reaction, an antibody is used which is obtained from an animal which has been immunized by introduction thereto of an antigen which comprises a carrier protein bonded with 2'- and 3'-hydroxyls of the adenosine through dicarboxylic acid residues, and a labelled adenosine and 2',3'-diacyladenosine which has been produced by acylation of adenosine in the sample to be assayed or in a standard solution are caused to undergo competitive reaction for the antibody whereby it has been made possible to determine adenosine quantitatively in high sensitivity and in high accuracy.
